This is due to 10.5 preferring x86_64 over i386 and Firefox x86_64 not being compatible with 10.5.

Bug 600362 solves this going forward and I believe will be backported so official releases won't crash. For b6 to b7 the solution would be to update b6 to a build that only contains the fix from bug 600362 and then update them to b7 but I believe it was decided that the extra work wasn't worth it.

That's exactly right, this should only affect nightly/beta users that made the transition (OKed in bug 601660). For release users, we're backporting bug 600362 to 1.9.2/1.9.1 so this won't be an issue.
